Hey Another approach without a dedicated connector, is to write the connector yourself.
1. Create a class that handles TCP/IP messages 2. Create Async Stream [1] and use that class to get the TCP/IP Messages 3. Optional, you can also combine Mono[2] for better performance when retrieving the messages. Example public class AsyncTcpIPStream<IN> extends RichAsyncFunction<IN , TcpIpMessage> { private TcpIpHandler tcpIpHandler; public AsyncTcpIPStream(final TcpIpHandler tcpIpHandler) { this.tcpIpHandler = tcpIpHandler; } @Override public void asyncInvoke(IN input, ResultFuture<Tuple2<IN, TcpIpMessage>> resultFuture) throws Exception { Executors.directExecutor().execute(() -> getTcpIpMessage()).subscribe(tcpIpMessage -> { Tuple2<T, TcpIpMessage> output = Tuple2.of(input, tcpIpMessage); resultFuture.complete(Collections.singletonList(output)); }); } private Mono<TcpIpMessage> getTcpIpMessages() { return tcpIpHandler.getMessages(); } } getMessages() would be public Mono<TcpIpMessage> getMessages() { . . . } [1] https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-master/docs/dev/datastream/operators/asyncio/ [2] https://projectreactor.io/docs/core/release/api/reactor/core/publisher/Mono.html Tamir. ________________________________ From: Caizhi Weng <tsreape...@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, November 19, 2021 3:27 AM To: Robert Cullen <cinquate...@gmail.com> Cc: user <user@flink.apache.org> Subject: Re: Connector for TCP/IP messages EXTERNAL EMAIL Hi! We have a SocketSourceFunction in the flink-examples-table module. Note that this is only an example and cannot be used in production. See its java doc for more information. If you want a production-ready socket source you can modify that and implement your own.
